Abstract Removal of As(V) using nanoscale iron particles was examined in batch reactors. Nanoscale iron particles, utilizing zerovalent iron with a diameter less than 100 nm as reactive materials, have been demonstrated to effectively remediate a wide variety of common environmental contaminants. In this study, characterization of nanoscale iron particles and their corrosion products was conducted using SEM-EDX, XRD, BET surface area analyzer and Laser Zee Meter. SEM-EDX results indicated adsorption of arsenic onto the iron surface, and XRD analysis found the formation of iron corrosion products including lepidocrocite, magnetite and/or maghemite at a reaction period of 7 d. Measurements of zeta potential revealed that the nanoscale iron particles have a zero point of charge at pH 4.4. Increasing adsorption amounts of arsenic with decreasing pH can therefore be attributed to the positive surface charge of the particles at lower pH. The maximum adsorption capacity of nanoscale iron particles determined by the Langmuir equation was about 38.2 mg/g. Normalization of the adsorption capacity to specific surface areas provides insight into the importance of iron types and the contact time of reactions in influencing arsenic uptake.

AbstractPassivation of nanoscale zerovalent iron hinders its efficiency in water treatment, and loading another catalytic metal has been found to improve the efficiency significantly. In this study, Cu/Fe bimetallic nanoparticles were prepared by liquid-phase chemical reduction for removal of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) from wastewater. Synthesized bimetallic nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, Brunauer–Emmet–Teller isotherm, and X-ray diffraction. The results showed that Cu loading can significantly enhance the removal efficiency of Cr(VI) by 29.3% to 84.0%, and the optimal Cu loading rate was 3% (wt%). The removal efficiency decreased with increasing initial pH and Cr(VI) concentration. The removal of Cr(VI) was better fitted by pseudo-second-order model than pseudo-first-order model. Thermodynamic analysis revealed that the Cr(VI) removal was spontaneous and endothermic, and the increase of reaction temperature facilitated the process. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis indicated that Cr(VI) was completely reduced to Cr(III) and precipitated on the particle surface as hydroxylated Cr(OH)3 and CrxFe1−x(OH)3 coprecipitation. Our work could be beneficial for the application of iron-based nanomaterials in remediation of wastewater.
